my engine is 434 cube/
I often use stan weis as a guide for getting flow numbers on castings.
one of the local guys here I associate with is Harvey Resnick,who was good friends with John Lingenfelter, I never met John.
I get my engine parts from Jeff Lukovich.My best friend John Graham deals with Scott Shaffiroff. I use Richard Johnson for machine work.I ve used John Haida,Dave Hall,Buck Kinney.
So does name dropping help?
no, personally Ive bracket raced at mission/S I R/Bremerton. Ive road raced at westwood,Ive ralleye raced from BBY to harrison hot springs

Im not looking to argue with you again.sometimes you make very good posts and I dont even follow up because you were correct and concise.

I wan't trying to name drop at all, I dont personally know any of these people, I have learned from what they have written. I simply stated that they math that you so easily criticized was not my own but the math came from them.

Oh, since you are running a 434 I would "guestimate" the hp numbers to be in the 600-630 range. Please, let me know how correct I am, I'm willing to bet that I'm pretty close.
